Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Hotevilla, AZ.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Hotevilla who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
